LONDON -- Ticket scalpers may be the ones getting scalped at next week's Bill Cosby show at London's Budweiser Gardens.

In the wake of rape and sexual assault allegations by more than two dozen women against Cosby, some people are trying to unload tickets at deeply discounted prices to his Jan. 8 show at the Gardens' RBC Theatre.

There were about 20 ads on Kijiji Tuesday from people trying to sell tickets at less than the box office price of $57.50 to $70 (plus taxes and handling).

David Chalk, who bought tickets as a Christmas present for his girlfriend before the allegations against Cosby surfaced, was among those selling tickets on Kijiji, offering two for the price of one.

"Because of the all the allegations, we just don't want to see him," said Chalk. "It would be hard to sit there watching him after what's happened. What he allegedly has done . . . it would be hard to find humour in his jokes."

More than two dozen women have gone public with accusations that they were sexually assaulted by Cosby, a 77-year-old comedian and actor who starred in The Cosby Show.

Though Cosby has remained silent about the claims, at least 13 performance centres in 11 American states have cancelled his shows.

Gardens general manager Brian Ohl said there's no change in plans to go ahead with the show and that tickets sales "have been good, actually.

"We're selling tickets every day," he said.

Megan Walker, executive director of the London Abused Women's Centre, said she's not surprised people are trying to dump tickets to the show.

"We've had calls from people who said they can't give them away," she said. "They're livid the show isn't being cancelled, so they're going to go to the show and heckle and exercise their right to free speech."
